An Open Letter

To: Rep. Gooden

From: A verified voter in Mesquite, TX

February 6, 2025

Elon Musk's unprecedented access and control over federal agencies pose a grave threat to democratic governance. By granting an unelected billionaire the power to dismantle public institutions and manipulate payment systems, the administration is enabling state capture - the corruption of government mechanisms for private enrichment. This blatant kowtowing to Musk's whims jeopardizes national security, data privacy, and the integrity of public services millions rely on. It is imperative that Musk's authority be revoked, and proper oversight restored immediately. Government functions and resources must be insulated from exploitation by well-connected oligarchs. Transparent, accountable processes - not the dictates of the wealthy few - should determine policy. Urgent action is needed to safeguard democratic principles and the public interest from this audacious corporate seizure of state power. The alarming consolidation of control cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.
